The invention discloses a preparation method of a porous honeycomb ceramic catalyst with a high specific surface area. The porous honeycomb ceramic catalyst is prepared by taking titanium dioxide, montmorillonite and alpha aluminum oxide as carriers and ammonium metatungstate, ammonium metavanadate, cerium nitrate and palladium acetate as active components through mixing, aging, kneading, molding, drying and roasting under the accompanying of auxiliary materials, wherein the auxiliary materials comprise monoethanolamine, ammonia water, lactic acid, stearic acid, glass fibers, macromolecular polymer fibers, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, polyoxyethylene, citric acid and water. According to the preparation method of the porous honeycomb ceramic catalyst with the high specific surface area, the catalyst carriers are optimized in order to be adapted to application conditions of frequent temperature variation, high concentration of nitrogen oxides, high heat stability and high specific surface; the montmorillonite and the alpha aluminum oxide are used for replacing one part of the titanium dioxide, the montmorillonite has the enhancing effect and the aluminum oxide has the effect of high heat stability; and meanwhile, the macromolecular polymer fibers are used for replacing wood pulp so that a grinding tool is difficult to block in a production process and the production efficiency is improved.
